Checked in the ,iouse.

The House Co mmittee on Pensions has
reported unfsvorably on the bill to grant
pension 10 Mrs. LopaD. The dec sion
was reached by strict party vote. 1t is
to be regretted that legislators cannot act
ndependently OF their personal feelings
In matters OF this kind. Doubtless everv
ID mocrat on the committee has the kind
est feelings for Mrs. Logan, but they
know that to grant her pension would
make a precedent for granting hundreds
OF other similar pensions. They know it
is their duty to oppose the Logan bill,
and they follow the line of duty. The Re-
publican members OF the committee also
know that they have no right to impose
upon the people the burden which is In
volved in tins bill, but they permit them
selves to be controlled by their feelings
rather than their sense Of duty.
The fact that Mrs. Blair appears az an
applicant with Mrs. Logan for a $1,000
pension shows what may be expected il
the bill In favor of Mrs. Logan becomes
law.
The appropriation at this session of
Congress for pensions is SIS, 600, 600, with
the prospect that the amount Will be in
creased every wear, for num-
Der OF years. On Monday bill
was offered in the House granting pen
sion to What Whitman, the poet. Well
may it be ssked, where is this pension
business to find limit? The burden
steadily grows larger. The granting of a
pension outside OF the regular pension
laws seems only to open the way for other
pensions. II the House has the courage
OF Its convictions it will refuse firmly
but kindly to pass the Logan bill.

At the Yale dinner at Washington p
few nights ago President Dwight, OF Yale
College, made an allusion TO the talking
capacity oil Congress. Many years ago,
he said, when there was debating 80.
clety at Yale College, and they were en-
deavoring to furnish the room In the then
new alumni building which was to be
occupied by this society, the Hon. Mr..
warts and some other honorable gentle.
men were appointed "a a committee on
this subject. Mr. Dwight was humble
worker at the other end Of the committee.
Writing for aid, among others the com.
nlittee attacked q graduate OF 1918, who
lived In tbs neighborhnod ot Washington.
Though l was entirely unknown to
him" said MIR. Dwight, "being at the
lower end Of the committee. he wrote TO
inr and said: give Tor dpOat ny snc,ety I.

Mr.. Norwood evidently places a con-
struction upon the editorial which it. will
hardly bear-one, certainly, that it was
not intended it 81 orld bear. 1t was no,
intended to charge him with neglect OF
duty, or with purpose to obstruct the
progress of the building. Indeed, there il
no intimatiOu of neglect in tive article.
The impression sou sht TO be conveyed ia
that MIR. Norwood was not pursuing the
course, relative to the public bu lding.
which the NEWS thought be ought to pur-
sue, which the majority of the people of
this city wanted him to pursue, and which,
if persisted in, would delay the
construction Of the building a year or
more. the News certainly could enter
tam this opinion without injustice TO MIR.
Norwood, because the sincerity OF MIR.
NOrwOod's course was not called into
question. 1t is true that the criticism of
Mr.. NOrwood's course was unfair TO him
II he was pursuing the only course left
open to him. Was he pursuing such a
cOurser From Supervising Architect
BelPs letter published above, it would
seem that he was, although at the time
that the article was written the impress
sion, derived from a source regarded as
reliable, was that the government
could be induced to accept the Union So
ciety lot. The NEWS, therefore. said that
it was complained that Mr.. Norwood
"does not appear to have given any atten-
ton 10 the rumerously signed petitions"
in favor OF the Union Society lot. That
the complaint was not without founda-
tion is shown by Mr.. Bell, who In his let
ter to Mr.. Norwood says. "You haze not
tried to influence this department in favor
OF or against any PERSONS property as a
site for this binding"
Mr.. Norwood may not have thought IL
his duty 10 use his influence to support
the petitions in favor OF the Union Society
lot, or be may have been so well informed
respecting Mr.. Belps intentions "a to re.
gard such action on his part as useless.
or he mty have thought it improper to
take an active part in favor OF any site.
The NEWS. however, knowing that ONLY
two sites mad been reported favorabIy,
VIZ: the Bun and South Broad street size
and the Union Society site, and under
standing that request had been made
Tor permission 10 withdraw the o(fsr of the
South Broad and Bull street site, thought
that Mr.. Norwood ought TO have pressed
The Lnion Society site for acceptance

cause The acceptance OF the Union Society
site would have been generally satisfac.
tory, as sbo"n by the petitions in favor
OF II, but also because IL action by the
GEORGIA Legislature were necessary In
cona' mutation procp, dngs, the progress
OF the building would have been greatly

How Girls Can Make Themselves Agreeable.

Little girls who wish to be agreeable, must remember that as a rule it is ll-bred to act in sul. len or churliSh manner, to say spiteful things to ridicule the aged or defOrmed, to talk aud laugh so loudly as to attract notice in pub. lie, to be petulant, to find fault with gift, and to complain about the weather or anything else una. voidable that happens to be par ticularly disagreeable.
 Girls try always to be natural, to forget self, to be gracious to- ward every one, to cultivate an amiable disposition, and try to add to the happiness otothers. If pos sible learn to walk in an easy and graceful manner without mincing or taking steps too long. Learn to use your hands, and do not sit in company with your arms tightly folded, as though they were not intended or.prcsent use. Conver, sation requires gestures at times.
 Ifasked to slng or play, comply at once if it is in your power to do so. Be scrupulously neat in dress and see that your room is always in order. And all such disagreea- ble habits as picking the nose ears, or teeth in company, biting or trimming the nails, yawning and appearing bored when any one particularly an old person speaking. Never interrupt any one, because he is telling you a tiresOme story. You can bear the infiiction much better than he can endure the wound his vanity will receive. Always acknowledge an acquaintance if worthy of yOnr re '. spect, no matter where he IS, or however shabby his clothes may be. The young girl or boy who has a polite bow, a smile and a pleasant word for every one, will be blessed with many friends. Above all, learn to be kind heart ed and sincere.

When Shall we stop Advertising?

Ten successful bushes men were asked when, in their judge ment, it would do to "stop adver. tising." We commed their an. swers to those business men who do not believe in publishing their wares.
 1st. "When population ceases to multiply, and the generations that crowd on after you. and never heard of you, stop coming on.'
 2nd. "When you have convinc. ed everybody whose life will touch yours, that you have better goods for the price than they can ever get any where else"
 3rd. "When you perceive it to be the rule that men who never advertise are outstripping their neighbors iu the same line of bus. mess"
 4th. "When men stop making fortunes right in your very sight, solely through the discreet use of this mighty agent"
 9th. 'Wheu you can forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful business men concern. ing the main cause of their pros. perity."
 9th. "Wheh every man has be- come so thoroughly a creature of habit that he will certainly buy this year where he bought last year."
 7th. "When younger and fresh CT and spunkier concerns in your line cease starting up and using the newspaper in telling the people how much better they can do for them than you cam
 Sth. "When you would rather have your own way and fall, than take advice and win.'

clothes line. One end of this he fastened around Mary's breast just beneath the arm pits; the 0th. CT end, by carefully stepping upon his knees, he contriyed to reeve through and fasten in one of the holes between the timber and the rail.
 Tile train was now less than a mile distant-in one minute it would reach the spot occupied by tbr ilnperiled travellers, On it cauie, booming along, while the rail shook as If going to peices. Steam, thunder, fire and smoke.
 "God help us!" screamed Mary. The next moment she felt sud. der jerk, and became aware that she was dangling in mid air be- meath the rail.
 Her heart almost leaped to her throat. A long dark object swept above her, crashing, ratling, thun- dering-it was the train!
 All right" said an encouraging voice, as, the cars disappeared in the darkness. "Thank God"
 She looked up and saw Harry, clinging to the upper part of the rope. He swung himself quickly to the rail, and carefully drew her up. Then, with the help of the rope, the two were enabled to walk the rest of the rail with more ease than before.
 Soon they were out of all dan. ger, when, with streaming eyes, Mary fell on her knees and thank. e,FGOd for her and her compan- ion's preservation. They reached the Dion train in good time and sub seluenlly arrived at Mary's place of destination in safety.
 The girl found her father dying, but he lived long enough to give her his parting blessing. Harry, now feeling that she needed pro- tector more than ever, proposed, after remaining six weeks at Di- jon, to make her his wife. -#.-.
 She consented-they were mar. ried-hc brought his bride to the United States and they are now living happily and contented in d pleasant home, near Harlem, New York, within hearing of the steam trains. Need l add that they ncv. CT hear the thunder noise of the approaching cars without think. ing of that night of peril on the rail.
